ST. Louis County Wind


Stopped by the St. Louis County wind power installation ribbon cutting this afternoon. A perfect winter day, 8 degrees, clear bright sunshine and fortunately not too much wind until the end of the ceremony so we could see the units spin. Six cool looking Architectural Wind units made by AV connected to a 6 kw Windy Boy inverter.
